IO-Link master station, which enables efficient and reliable communication between the management level and the sensor/actuator level, transmits sensor data through the IO-Link master station to a higher level information system and receives data from there.

New ICE11 IO-Link master for PLC applications with support for multiple protocols including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, MODBUS TCP, EtherCAT and CC-Link IE field basic. Whether it is robotics, logistics or motion control and other applications, it can be widely used on a global scale.

ICE11 IO-Link master station

The IO-Link master station is powerful and can be used for real-time applications with cycle times as low as microseconds, depending on the protocol used. For example, product models using the EtherCAT protocol can provide cycle times of about 250 μs. These devices also comply with the new IO-Link standard V1.1.3, which is highly sustainable.

Improve process reliability and plant utilization

IO-Link provides additional security through the diagnostic data of connected devices, enabling reliable condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. In addition, the IO-Link master station uses a rugged product housing for harsh industrial environments. It has a protection rating of up to IP69K, excellent vibration and impact resistance, and works well over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
